I just met Gretry's statue on the stairs; he had enough and fled.
Hitherto he had been a bear; now, after the talk with Gretry, he had secretly "turned bull" with the suddenness of a strategist.
It is to set self-conscious philosophy singing and dancing, like the young Gretry, to the tune of a waterfall.
It was then that he told Gretry he was going to buy in the July crops.
A great deal of the poetry set to music by Gretry is by Marmontel.
